Minnesota Statutes 13.824 & 13.825 require all law enforcement agencies utilizing portable recording devices (Body worn cameras) and automated license plate readers (ALPR) to conduct biennial audits to determine whether data are appropriately classified, how the data are used, and whether the data are destroyed as required under law, and to verify compliance with laws regarding access to the recording system data, sharing of data and written policies and procedures regarding the requirements of the statute.

The results of audits conducted under MN 13.824 & 13.825 are public and a report must be provided to the governing agency within 60 days of completion.  LEADS ensures that the statutes intent of both privacy protection and public accountability are met.
